WARNING
Keep Away From Live Circuits
Operating Personnel must at all times observe general safety precautions. Do not replace
components or make adjustments to the inside of the test equipment with the high
voltage supply turned on. To avoid casualties, always remove power.
WARNING
Do Not Service Or Adjust Alone
Under no circumstances should any person reach into an enclosure for the purpose of
service or adjustment of equipment except in the presence of someone who is capable of
rendering aid.

test instruments. Grounding one conductor of a two conductor power cable is not
sufficient protection. Serious injury or death can occur if this grounding is not properly
supplied.

Resuscitation
Personnel working with or near high voltages should be familiar with modern methods of
resuscitation.

Limited Warranty
All products manufactured by Seller are warranted to be free from defects in material and workmanship for a
period of one (1) year, unless otherwise specified, from date of shipment and to conform to applicable specifica-
tions, drawings, blueprints and/or samples. Seller’s sole obligation under these warranties shall be to issue credit,
repair or replace any item or part thereof which is proved to be other than as warranted; no allowance shall be
made for any labor charges of Buyer for replacement of parts, adjustment or repairs, or any other work, unless such
charges are authorized in advance by Seller.
If Seller’s products are claimed to be defective in material or workmanship or not to conform to specifications,
drawings, blueprints and/or samples, Seller shall, upon prompt notice thereof, either examine the products where
they are located or issue shipping instructions for return to Seller (transportation charges prepaid by Buyer). In the
event any of our products are proved to be other than as warranted, transportation costs (cheapest way) to and
from Seller’s plant, will be borne by Seller and reimbursement or credit will be made for amounts so expended by
Buyer. Every such claim for breach of these warranties shall be deemed to be waived by Buyer unless made in writ-
ing within ten days from the date of discovery of the defect.
The above warranties shall not extend to any products or parts thereof which have been subjected to any misuse or
neglect, damaged by accident, rendered defective by reason of improper installation or by the performance of
repairs or alterations outside of our plant, and shall not apply to any goods or parts thereof furnished by Buyer or
acquired from others at Buyer’s request and/or to Buyer’s specifications. Routine (regularly required) calibration is
not covered under this limited warranty. In addition, Seller’s warranties do not extend to the failure of tubes, tran-
sistors, fuses and batteries, or to other equipment and parts manufactured by others except to the extent of the
original manufacturer’s warranty to Seller.
The obligations under the foregoing warranties are limited to the precise terms thereof. These warranties provide
exclusive remedies, expressly in lieu of all other remedies including claims for special or consequential damages.
SELLER NEITHER MAKES NOR ASSUMES ANY OTHER WARRANTY WHATSOEVER, WHETHER EXPRESS, STATUTORY,
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS, AND NO PERSON IS AUTHORIZED TO
ASSUME FOR SELLER ANY OBLIGATION OR LIABILITY NOT STRICTLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FOREGOING.
